Brazilian or full bush?
The jury is out. The majority of men prefer the Brazilian (hair free) when it comes to women’s downstairs grooming. In fact, some men even described hair down there as a ‘turn off’. However, modern women are not giving into the wants of men; the most popular grooming choice for women is a ‘neatly groomed area’.

Contrary to recent rumours that ‘the bush is back’, 85% of women choose to groom their hair down there. Of these women, the majority are opting for ‘at home’ solutions to hair removal.

And if you think Australian women are using winter as an excuse to ‘let the grass grow’, you’d be wrong. Over 60% of women ensure their groomed all year round, most sighting partners or ‘unexpected relations’ as the reason for their year-long regime.

Laser

Women are opting for laser hair removal in droves, in fact when asked if they’d laser downstairs and go hair free forever, 60% of women jumped at the idea of never having to groom their downstairs area again.

Manscaping

It’s not the obvious choice of bigger looking parts that tops the list. The men chose the fact that ‘sex feels better’ as the top reason for grooming.

However, the women of Australia will be pleased to know a partner’s likes and dislikes rates a close second in the reasoning behind grooming choices. One manzilian master says ‘if I expect women to do it, then I should too’.

And for guys looking at impress the ladies, it’s time to ditch the gorilla suit. Over half of the women of Australia sited a hairy man as a turnoff with back hair as the biggest male turnoff surprisingly followed by chest hair, with butt hair coming in at third.
